Your Term 4 Research Project
Each week in Term 4, you will be given some research questions to complete on Japan. The idea is that you will add each week's research to what has already been done in order to produce one final, quality project. How your work is presented is entirely up to you. You may wish to create a website or use an online presentation tool. You may create an eBook all about Japan. You could also present your project in a scrapbook or project book (handwritten). You will be marked on your content as well as your presentation.
